Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

Seeing Su Bai's actions, Hua Gengchen's eyes were full of smiles, and the ice on his face that had never melted for thousands of years began to melt. "Alright, let's go inside first!" As September arrives, the temperature difference between day and night begins to increase. Su Bai is a fragile human being, what if he catches a cold by accident?

Hua Gengchen had been worried about Su Bai's health before, but that was out of consideration for the future of the demon realm; but now that he had discovered his feelings for Su Bai, his worries were dozens of times greater than before! He had to find an opportunity to ask Bai Ze if people of the Shennong clan could cultivate, because he wanted to be with Su Bai for a long, long time.

Su Bai glared angrily at Hua Gengchen. Why was he still standing here? It was all because of Hua Gengchen! He snapped, "You have to agree to all the conditions I set, or we're getting a divorce!" He wanted to have it both ways? No way!

He's not someone to be trifled with!

After saying that, Su Bai strode angrily into the house. He didn't want to see Hua Gengchen at all; just seeing him annoyed him!

Hua Gengchen chuckled as he watched Su Bai's angry retreating figure, then took a step to catch up with Su Bai and continued to stick close to him.

Anyway, the source of the black crystal has been resolved. The humans are handling the Chiyou Club. The only thing left to deal with is the remaining humans who have been parasitized by the black energy. Hua Gengchen plans to take a break and spend the night at home with Su Bai to calm his restless heart before continuing his work tomorrow.

"Madam, wait for me!" Hua Gengchen called out as he was about to catch up with Su Bai. After calling Su Bai "Madam" for the first time, Hua Gengchen found the title quite natural.

Su Bai was climbing the stairs when he heard Hua Gengchen call out the word "Madam." He immediately stopped, turned around, and looked at Hua Gengchen with a stern face. "Don't call me Madam!" It was one thing for the servants like Hua Jueming to call me that, but why was Hua Gengchen doing it too? Did he think he hadn't already confused him enough?

"Why?" Hua Gengchen stopped in his tracks, standing two steps below Su Bai, his gaze meeting hers. "We're partners, what's wrong with me calling you 'Madam'? Or do you not like the title 'Madam'? How about we use something more common? I also want my way of addressing you to be unique." Only in this way could he show his special status. Hua Gengchen stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and tentatively called out, "Wife."

boom.

Su Bai felt as if he had been hit by a nuclear bomb, and his mind went completely blank.

Seeing that Su Bai didn't react for a long time, Hua Gengchen called out a few more times and waved his hand in front of Su Bai's eyes, "Wife? Wife."

Su Bai snapped out of her daze and rubbed her forehead. Damn it, what did Hua Gengchen eat? Why is he suddenly being so alluring!

"Don't call me 'Madam' or 'Wife'!" she said angrily, her face flushed. "Just call me Su Bai."

"No!" Hua Gengchen refused outright, his attitude exceptionally serious. "We're partners, how can we call each other by our first names? That's too formal! It doesn't show the intimacy between us at all. It's fine if you call me by my name, but from today onwards, I don't want to call you by your name anymore." Hua Gengchen decided to declare his possessiveness starting with how he addressed her. Su Bai, this two-legged human, was now under his control; anyone who wanted to steal her away could try! "I think both 'wife' and 'wife' sound quite nice. Which one do you prefer me to call you?"

Hua Gengchen generously gave Su Bai the choice, but Su Bai had no desire to choose at all, saying, "I really think calling her by her name is fine..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hua Gengchen interrupted her, "That's not good at all! It makes it seem like we're not close at all." He urged, "Hurry up and choose one, or I'll decide for myself."

Su Bai saw the seriousness in Hua Gengchen's eyes, and after a long while, he relented, "Then you can still call me Madam!" He'd been called that for quite a while now, and he was getting used to it. It shouldn't make much difference whether Hua Gengchen called him that or Hua Jueming and the others did, Su Bai comforted himself.

"But I think calling you 'wife' sounds better." This made their relationship seem exceptionally intimate, and anyone who heard it would know that Su Bai was taken, while he could also highlight his status and avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Hua Gengchen really hoped that Su Bai could make a different choice.

Su Bai couldn't stand Hua Gengchen's nonsense at all, and glared at him angrily, "Don't call me 'wife'!" He was incredibly fierce! It was as if Su Bai would explode on the spot if Hua Gengchen called her that again.

Hua Gengchen suppressed the smile on his lips and replied gently, "Yes, Madam!" He could call her "wife" in private, since Su Bai wouldn't know anyway.

Su Bai instantly felt a toothache, glared angrily at Hua Gengchen, and then turned and ran away.

He couldn't stay in the same space as Hua Gengchen any longer; it was simply unbearable!

Hua Gengchen's smile widened at Su Bai's actions. After watching Su Bai enter the house, he went downstairs in a good mood, giving Su Bai more time to accept reality.

After sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Hua Gengchen called Hua Jueming over. "Although the matter of the Crimson Nether Club has been handed over to humans, you still need to arrange for someone to keep an eye on things secretly. Make sure no one slips through the net." Bai Ze, who was researching the black crystal and was afraid of something going wrong staying at the Hua family's house, had already returned to his own place. "Also, have Bai Ze speed up his research. If the demons can create one Crimson Nether Club, they can create a second one. Humans need to take more precautions." If it weren't for the accidental discovery of the black crystal, they would probably still be kept in the dark even if the demons' scheme succeeded.

"Yes, Master." Hua Jueming nodded in agreement, but as he was about to leave, he remembered something. "Master, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."

Hua Gengchen raised his eyes, his deep gaze sweeping over Hua Jueming with a single glance, which immediately put considerable pressure on Hua Jueming. Hua Jueming quickly organized his thoughts and said, "I only remembered on the way back that yesterday the humans gave me a list of shareholders of the Crimson Nether Club, hoping that the fairies could help check if there were any demons on it. And the person I met in the library today is on that list."

"At first, I didn't even think about it. But when I did, I felt something was off. I don't know if it was a coincidence or something else, but I just felt that Li Chengtian was a bit strange!" Perhaps because Li Chengtian wanted to steal Hua Gengchen's girlfriend, Hua Jueming unconsciously became hostile towards him and thus developed suspicions.

Hua Gengchen pondered for a moment with a somber expression, then narrowed his eyes slightly. "The Li family is a large clan, and it's normal for their businesses to span various industries. However... let's confirm this again. Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!"

"Yes, Master!" Hua Jueming solemnly replied. He had investigated Li Chengtian before, but that was only for Li Chengtian himself. This time, he needed to investigate whether Li Chengtian was colluding with the Demon Clan.

After Hua Jueming left, Hua Gengchen felt that it was about time, so he got up and headed to his bedroom on the second floor.

After returning to his room, Su Bai buried his head in the covers like an ostrich. He still didn't know how things had developed to this point; it all seemed to have happened in a muddle.

"Ah!!!" Su Bai screamed silently a few times while hiding under the covers. What should he do now?

Could his already cracked walls of reason withstand Hua Gengchen's repeated 'attacks'? Was there really no other way for him but to accept Hua Gengchen's affections?

But love is something you can't trust! It's too ethereal and more fragile than any promise; it can change in the blink of an eye.

Although Hua Gengchen seemed more trustworthy than Su Yangxia, you can't judge a book by its cover. Su Bai didn't think he could read Hua Gengchen's mind, so how could he possibly know what Hua Gengchen was really thinking?

Ultimately, Su Bai was simply afraid of being hurt again. He preferred to completely imprison his heart, not giving himself or anyone else a chance, just to avoid getting hurt again.

However, Hua Gengchen is currently having a significant influence on Su Bai, and Su Bai needs some time to rebuild the wall of rationality.

When Hua Gengchen returned to his room, the first thing he saw was the obvious bulge. A hint of tenderness unconsciously appeared in his deep eyes as he slowly walked over.

Standing beside the bulge, he asked softly, "Madam, what are you doing?" Humans are rather fragile two-legged creatures; what if they get sick from keeping themselves cooped up like this?

Su Bai never expected Hua Gengchen to return so quickly; he hadn't mentally prepared himself for it!

He said in a muffled voice, "I'm practicing holding my breath. Go do your own thing!" Wasn't he so busy before that he didn't even have time to go home? Now he should hurry up and get busy. What if the company goes bankrupt without Hua Gengchen in charge? He didn't want to be burdened with huge debts.

Hua Gengchen chuckled and found a seat next to the bulge. "Company matters are not important. I just want to see you more right now!" He really didn't know how he had gotten through the past few days without seeing Su Bai. After realizing his feelings, Hua Gengchen wished he could see Su Bai every minute and every second. It would be best if he could take Su Bai with him at all times.

Su Bai stiffened abruptly upon hearing this. Was he hallucinating or what? Would Hua Gengchen say such a thing?

But then I thought about it again, and Hua Gengchen was acting strangely today, so it's not surprising that he said something!

"I don't have anything to see!" Su Bai had no confidence to face Hua Gengchen right now! He hadn't even sorted out his thoughts yet! "I'm tired, I need to rest, you should get out of here!"

Su Bai's tone sounded very weak, and Hua Gengchen's lips curled up slightly. "Then I'll go out first. You get some rest, and I'll come and call you when dinner is ready."

Although Hua Gengchen didn't know how normal people fell in love, based on his experience on the battlefield, he knew he couldn't push someone too far. He knew that whether demon or human, when pushed to the limit, people would do things beyond reason. Hua Gengchen wanted to be with Su Bai for a long time, so he couldn't push her too far.

Anyway, he has a long lifespan, so he has plenty of time to waste on Su Bai.

Su Bai waved his hand through the quilt, signaling Hua Gengchen to leave quickly, as he was feeling suffocated in bed.

Upon seeing this, Hua Gengchen automatically imagined Su Bai looking like this: blushing, huffing and puffing, looking adorably timid. "Then I'm leaving." After saying that, Hua Gengchen touched the spot where Su Bai's head had been on the bulge, stood up, and walked out.

Hua Gengchen had a pair of enviable long legs, so he went out the door after only a few steps. Hearing the door close, Su Bai immediately threw off the blanket, her face flushed and panting heavily.

That almost cost him his life!
